"Blue Represents thought. Dark blue tends to indicate worldly thinking. Robin's egg blue tends to indicate spiritual thinking. Aqua As a combination of blue and green, aqua represents healing qualities within a thought-oriented individual. It is usually dark and intense, a particularly striking color in the field. Yellow An indication of intellectual defense mechanisms. Some yellow is healthy because it shows the petson's ability to stay on track. A great deal of yellow indicates that a person is blocking too much." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"I was determined to delve deeper into the lifestyle of Okinawans as part of a new online expedition—the blue Zones Quest. More than a million people a day would follow our progress online. It was a huge opportunity to make a difference, and I knew we couldn't miss any deadlines. I decided to track down Sayoko. She wasn't easy to find. I tried her old e-mail address and queried all of my old teammates concerning her whereabouts. I contacted her former boss, who told me she'd left her high-powered job behind to become a full-time mom. This news blew me away." - Dan Buettner, The blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) "In the blue Zone, 47 men and 44 women lived past their 100th birthdays in a population of 17,865 born between 1880 and 1900—a rate of centenarians that exceeds America's by about a factor of 30. If the ratio of men to women among Sardinian centenarians was typical, the region should have produced only 10 male centenarians during the period. But it didn't. So why are men so extraordinarily long-lived here and not women? Perhaps it has something to do with the different burdens they carry. The men were "quiet, and kind, and sensitive to the natural flow of life, and quite without airs," D. H." - Dan Buettner, The blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) "From everything I had seen in this blue Zone, Tonino's values were also those of the region's population in general. People here possessed a reverence for family. Perhaps it had something to do with their historic isolation, surrounded as they were by hostile outsiders; they had to depend on one another. All the centenarians I met told me la famiglia was the most important thing in their lives—their purpose in life. In America, seniors tend to live apart from their children and grandchildren, often sent off to retirement homes when they become unable to care for themselves." - Dan Buettner, The blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) "While I had been working my way through interviews in the eastern part of the blue Zone, David had been canvassing the western part for situations to illustrate our story (National Geographic photographers and writers rarely travel together). He called me on the phone one afternoon to say he'd met a 75-year-old shepherd in the 3,000-year-old village of Silanus who still tended his own sheep, made his own wine, and lived in a traditional Sardinian home. His name was Tonino Tola, David said, "but I call him 'The Giant.'" - Dan Buettner, The blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Healthcare) decided that they would not cover the drug, except at an extra cost to employers or individuals, while others (e.g., blue Cross/Blue Shield plans in Indiana and California, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, and the Defense Department's health plan) did cover the drug. However, many insurers who currently cover the drug limit the number of pills per month. For example, Tufts Health Plan (2002) covers four tablets every thirty days, and blue Cross and blue Shield of Texas (2003) covers eight tablets every thirty days." - Peter Conrad, The Medicalization of Society: On the Transformation of Human Conditions into Treatable Disorders (Get the book.)

"WRIGHT'S CASE STUDY Erwin Jangaard looked blue; not bright blue, but more a dull, mottled blue with red tones, darker around his lips and cheeks, a little lightet on the rest of his face. The skin of his hands was more red with blue mottling, lighter on his fingers, where yellow-brown-orange cigarette stains also appeared. He was obviously working hard for each breath. His wife Ingrid was with him, and spoke first. "Erwin just won't quit smoking," she said. " - Jonathan V. Wright, M.D. and Alan R.

"Wellmark blue Cross and blue Shield (which has the interesting and perhaps ironic slogan "You Just Can't Beat the Blues™), the state's largest insurance company, reports on its Web site that in 2002, 16percent of the citizens of Winterset were taking antidepressants. Apparently, one in six of these bankers, farmers, mechanics, quilters, and housewives, and of these Buddhist, Presbyterians, and Baptists of Winterset are feeling so miserable that they feel they need help." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"The nonprofit Environmental Defense Organization has listed its "eco-worst" fish to eat: blue and striped marlin, swordfish, shark, Atlantic salmon, orange roughy, grouper, Chilean sea bass, and bluefin tuna. Choose smaller fish such as flounder, sole, pollock, and halibut instead. Consumer and public health groups indicate that virtually every can of tuna is contaminated to some degree, and fish-safety experts now think pregnant women should avoid canned tuna entirely because there's no way to know for sure which cans contain the least amount of mercury." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"To use an analogy, when you mix blue and yellow dyes, you don't get a swirling mass of blue and yellow streaks. You get green dye. The Star Infoceuticals work in a similar way, creating something new from a mixture of ingredients. For this reason, and others, NES clients are cautioned by their practitioners never to mix different Infoceuticals in the same glass of water but always to take them separately.

"Yellow No. 6, blue No. 1, blue No. 2, and Green No. 3 Stock Up on Organic Herbs and Spices When it comes to condiments and spices, we often resort to items that are full of preservatives, additives, and refined sugars. I challenge you to explore your pantry or the door to your refrigerator and see just how many odd-sounding ingredients you find on bottles, jars, and shakers. For example, regular ketchup and BBQ_sauce can be loaded with additives, especially high-fructose corn syrup. You can do so much better with just natural, organic spices and herbs." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"At the end, hit the blue button." Two girls named Michelle and Krissy pass by, shuffling along side by side. A kid with unlaced skateboarding shoes finishes his laps and turns in his watch. His time reads eight minutes, thirty seconds. Next comes a husky boy in baggy shorts. "Bring it on in, Doug," Duncan says. "What'd you get?" "Nine minutes." "Flat?" "Yeah." "Nice work." When Michelle and Krissy finally saunter over, Duncan asks for their times, but Michelle's watch is still running. Apparently, she didn't hit the blue button. Krissy did, though, and their times are the same." - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.)

"The red in raspberries and cherries, the blue in blueberries, and the orange in peppers all contain powerful plant chemicals that have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and frequently anticancer activity. The secret to the benefits of cherries and cherry juice are compounds called anthocyanins. These are the particular pigments in cherries that give them their bright red color and are considered to be the key to helping the body relieve inflammation. It's believed that the anthocyanins in the cherries cause the decrease in uric acid and the relief from the pain of gout." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"Designed specifically as a chess-playing program, Deep blue won Game 1 against the reigning world champion, Garry Kasparov, in a February 10, 1996, match that was seen around the world. Afterward, Kasparov commented that the computer program showed "deep intelligence" and "creativity" that even the chess master couldn't understand. In some respects, we may not be so different from Deep blue. Within the consciousness computer of the universe, we're evaluating the conditions that life throws our way and making the best choices possible using the information that we have." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"When you think about energy and ATP, think about those old wooden matches we all used to use in the kitchen — those wooden sticks with a blob of blue stuff on the end and a little dot of red stuff on the blue stuff. Both the blue stuff and the red stuff are phosphorus, an element with so much latent energy that it virtually explodes when scratched. The red stuff is the most explosive, so it ignites first when you scratch it on the side of the box. It bursts into a very hot flame that ignites the lower-energy blue phosphorus. The blue phosphorus, in turn, lights the wooden part of the match." - Covert Bailey, Smart Exercise: Burning Fat, Getting Fit (Get the book.)

"The national average for blue Cross and blue Shield subscribers in 2000, by the way, was a still rather shocking 10.7 percent.6 It has been widely observed that the SSRIs put many people at a sort of remove from reality, a distance from the self. I've seen SSRIs block out both the good and the bad, numbing us to the pandemonium of life. I have noticed that people who take the drugs to attempt to redress ordinary life problems, rather than serious depression, are more prone to this sanitizing flatness." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"Robin's egg blue tends to indicate spiritual thinking. Aqua As a combination of blue and green, aqua represents healing qualities within a thought-oriented individual. It is usually dark and intense, a particularly striking color in the field. Yellow An indication of intellectual defense mechanisms. Some yellow is healthy because it shows the petson's ability to stay on track. A great deal of yellow indicates that a person is blocking too much. Eventually, such a person ends up with gray in their fields, the color of depression. Brown Signifies self-doubt." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"Nearly all hospitals in the country named the private nonprofit "Blues"—the blue Cross and blue Shield insurance companies. Part B spelled out physicians' rights to decide appropriate care and, also through the Blues, to bill Social Security for payment. The federal government relinquished most of its own power to exert price controls, allowing the hospitals and the Blues to work out their own schedules of costs and prices. It also allowed hospitals to build capital costs into patient cost evaluations." - Laurie Garrett, Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global Public Health (Get the book.)

"ADD BACK BLACK AND BLUE-AND RED,TOO Unless you are still obese, you may now begin to add berries (fresh or frozen, but not dried), as well as other black, blue, and red fruits such as currants, cherries, red grapes (just stay away from the seedless types), and plums. These colorful fruits are full of phytonutrients that can help turn on your longevity genes and turn off killer genes. The antioxidants in these fruits are unique in that they are both water and fat soluble, meaning they can travel from the bloodstream to brain cells, with dramatic implications for brain vitality." - Dr. Steven R.

"If you are from the Carolinas, the most important thing in your life besides putting food on your table is Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC, pronounced I-say-say) basketball, so the chance to work with the blue Devils close up was a dream assignment for some of us. Back then our job was to keep the team in tip-top shape. The majority of the time that meant consulting with one of the players when he had a cold. Every blue Devil who walked into Team Doc's office with a cold walked out with a prescription, often for an antibiotic that would have no effect on his viral illness." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"This substance gives blueberries their rich blue color. (Deep shades of blue, purple, and red come from anthocyanin—great sources also include plums, deep purple grapes, and other berries.) Blueberries contain several other phenolic compounds, including flavonols and phenolic acids. In addition to their antioxidant activity, blueberries have been found to protect against urinary tract infections, improve "tired eyes," and possibly reduce the overall effects of aging through their potent antioxidant activity. þcitrus fruits." - Brenda Davis and Tom Barnard, Defeating Diabetes (Get the book.)
